What makes Jesus’ teaching so different, and why were people astonished by His authority? In Mark 1:21-39, we see Him teaching in the synagogue, confronting evil, healing the sick, and declaring His mission. This passage forces us to wrestle with who Jesus really is: His authority, His identity, and His mission.

In this message, we explore why Jesus’ authority is unlike that of the scribes, what it means that even demons recognize His identity, and how His mission goes beyond miracles to the cross, where He gives His life as a ransom for many. Whether you’re curious about who Jesus is, or you’re a Christian seeking deeper faith, this sermon will help you see why truth isn’t just an idea. It’s a person, and His name is Jesus.
